Thank von, I'm happy. Even though it is just sitting hahahaa. I am however collecting parts. I just bought a 96 ford explorer with a 5.0 and cast iron gt40 heads for $300. I'm only interested in the heads so I turned around d and sold the serpentine set up for $200. Should be a little better than the stock heads

Are they GT40 or GT40P heads? I forget the difference, but one is hard to find headers to fit. I'm using Explorer manifolds on my car, and there is one or two plugs that the boots touch the manifold, I'm going to have to tie them back or run insulators to keep from burning them.
Not sure what heads I have, I think mine are E7's though.

Gt40. 1996 to mid 97 are gt40, late 97 to 2001 are gt40p.
The p heads are the harder ones to find headers for. They have 4 verti6casting lines on the front of them by the intake. The gt40 heads have 3 lines

Been a while since I fooled with them, knew there was a difference. I need to look at mine and see what I have, but with the SERP belt system I doubt I can see the end of mine.

Have you had issues with them or just his designs u dont like??

I picked these cause they still have the 5 star look but alittle more than all the others.

Thanks, I hope so!!

 

[Old Iron]

Haven't seen those before

 

[Bamamav]

They favor V6 Mustang wheels. More shine though!
What diameter did you go with?

 

[lowbudget50]

18x9.5 and 17x8. I agree that look like a mustang wheel!!

No never used them. I would think Foose wouldn`t care much for using his name on crap products.

I really started to dislike Foose wheel designs after he did Joe Rogan`s `Cuda.
Just a matter of taste... I`m a steel wheel dog dish kinda guy... go figure

I`m looking forward to see these on the Ford. Looks like a great choice to me. [P

I get it, I like the classic 5 star look. But they have been so over used. This still has the look but its alittle different.
I test fit a rear today just for an eye ball on it. They will tuck in there. Tight, but they will fit. Might end up having to work the inner fender alittle since it will be lowered

I like those wheels a lot. I also like the five-spokes, but agree that they've been done to death. That's how I ended up with the wheels I chose for the Fairlane...and they sorta resemble old Mustang wheels, too.
